Cheers.

So I was thinking of brewing this in a couple of weeks. I don't have any of that delicious, delicious simcoe. I also don't have any warrior. What do you think of the following hops schedule:
Chinook (13%) Boil 60min - 60.1 IBUs
Columbus (14%) Boil 45 - 26 IBUs
Centenial (10%) Boil 30 - 16.1 IBUs
Columbus (14%) Boil 15 - 9.1 IBUs
Centennial (10%) - Dry
Citra (12%) - Dry

I also have some cascade I was debating tossing in at some point, maybe dry instead of the citra.

For similar effect you really should swap the first hit of Chinook out with a low cohumulone hop, like Simcoe or Warrior Citra is low as are many others

Thanks for the advice Greg. You comment made me do a bunch of homework on hops, I'm better for it.

I decided to pick up some simcoe from NG this weekend (since I love the stuff). The new hop schedule is as follows:
Simcoe [9.18 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 59.4 IBUs
Centennial [10.80 %] - Boil 45.0 min Hop 28.6 IBUs
Centennial [10.80 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 14.4 IBUs
Citra [13.70 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 10.7 IBUs
Centennial [10.00 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop
Simcoe [9.18 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop
Almost identical except the lack of cascade and the addition of citra/centennial respectively.
I don't have any London ESB yeast, would 1056 do it or should I try and get my hands on some before I brew?

the 1056 will give you a cleaner taste but I wouldn't hesitate to use it

Thanks LiverDance.
My simcoe is 2010. Ive adjusted the AA to reflect that, but will it be diluted in flavors for the dry hop aswell? Should I add a little something extra to keep it zesty?

You'll be fine using the same dry hops but then again it would be adding MORE HOPS! No lose situation

any idea if this would be good with 1056 or american2 ?

They are probably safe bets but liverdance probably knows best for his recipie. I think I used US05 which is basically 1056 AFAIK.

You got it, I would be OK using either 1056 or 1272

I have this one fermenting away at the moment. The wort tasted awesome going into the Primary, can't wait for it to be ready to drink! Great recipe.

I did sub simcoe in for the warrior, as NG did not have any warrior.

Glad to hear it's turning out well, more simoce for the bittering will work out just fine

1056 is a terrific yeast. Clean and good floc.
I use it all the time for Pales, Blondes, IPAs and DIPAs

going to give this recipe a rip in a few weeks.

I love this beer.

Having my last litre of this tonight, I will definitely be making this one again!

I am sitting here drinking Stu's Brews Tettnang single hop, for the club project, and it reaffirmed my latest love affair with Tett. It got me thinking, I just brewed up Comfortably Numb today and I was thinking of tossing it into the dry hop schedule. Do you guys think it would be lost in the explosion of west coast hoppy goodness, or add its great subtle spicy/floral mystique to the collage?

Also, nice beer Stu!

There is only one way to find out I think the spicy would be good in there myself.

I dont have any admiral hops; or the suggested substitutes target, northdown or challenger. windering if one might be able to use some fuggles or willamette or nugget

There are no admiral hops in the recipe?

Well crap I thought I was making the numb ipa but I was actually 1 of my own recipes I was doing sorry for the mixup

would I get a similar malt profile using aromatic instead of melanoiden?

I'd say you'd be in the ball park.

I think I am going to brew another batch of this next weekend. I love this stuff and haven't made it in well over a year.

I've got to get this on my list of things to brew as well. Haven't had it in awhile. Let us know how it turns out Graham
